SHEs Organized

Let those chores just 'tumble' off your list -or maybe that's the laundry twin tumblin' away while you do something else.

Had to call dbil/dsil to let them know of dh being back in the hospital. Knew that would be a dpc!

Going over to dd's in a few (as soon as I manage to s2s) for a cup of coffee then I'm headed in to the hospital. Hoping perhaps dh might be coming home today -but certainly don't want him out any sooner than he's really ready. I'll persevere.

Oh my, it's already 8:30 -need to move it, move it, move it!

Remember to take care of yourself today, Dee!

I'm up after an awful night. Took 2.5 hours to fall asleep and was woken up multiple times after that. I decided to tough it out without a morphine since it was my knee and hip that hurt more than my stomach. Knee is still in bad shape today.

I've made my muffins for the day and had my tea.

Think I might go back to bed for a while, or at least settle into a recliner for a while.

Good Morning!

Very wise words spoken in this village. Thank you for sharing several possibilities and things to look out for. DMom blood work came back with no decline from last time. She has lost 3lbs in the last 6 months which doctor was very pleased with. DMom thought she had lost 10 lbs so asked the Doc to check his scales.

I did speak to DMom about her lapse in memory giving several examples. At first she was adamant that it was just me not remembering right. She became agitated and said she was going to get a tape recorder to record all of our conversations. However, when I brought up other people (besides me) remembering things happening and conversations that she doesn't remember or confused the facts, then she was able to understand and realize that she is forgetting things. I'm going to leave it like this for awhile and let her accept this much. I still have hope that it is stress & grieve related. Besides she was unsettled yesterday when family doc repeated what her heart doc told her at her last appt (40-60% blockage). She had forgotten it ....

Today is more appts.... LO goes to audiologist for hearing test then an hour later he will see the ENT doctor to get his ear tubes checked. DH will get his weekly allergy shots while we are there.

Meanwhile, I'm focusing on the D's -
XXX- Dailies
X- Devotions
XX- Dishes
X- Duds
X- Dinner
X- Desk
X- Declutter

Busy day in the village and here, so I am posting and running.

Have been to meet w rabbi this morning and returned home to send several emails and retrieve sunglasses. Dmom has a dr visit this afternoon and I need to refill her meds box today as well. And this night have meeting that I didn't receive a reminder email for, but I should go as I need to talk to several people there anyway.

This morning I had to put gas in rental car and buy a car charger as mine was left in my car and my phone needs charging.

Still hoping to go see dsis tomorrow. Have been in touch with car dealership and they may have it ready today, but I'm not even sure when I could pick it up.

Here's hoping for a wonderful day all around...

Good morning, villagers ~

Okay and Lucylee ~ Remember also for DMoms that they may not be sleeping very well yet. Sleep deprivation, even for just a couple of nights in a row, does terrible things for memory and logic.

Still don't know about camping. Weather still iffy. Only family member we know for sure will be camping is 1 nephew with 3 of his young kids. DH says he doesn't think they will be much fun, so he will only camp if his DB J does. J can't make up his mind. They will have to decide after work tonight.

Errands yesterday took a lot longer than expected so I still need to scrub out the cooler. Cannot find my hat, which is a priority because I don't tan, I burn. I did find my CoolTie, which I'll definitely need because we'll have real summer temps. Sent an Email to DH that if he doesn't know where his CoolTie is, he should stop on the way home and buy another one.

Have been working steadily all morning with desk work and chores that need to be done before I can have the weekend off. I'll update the camping list with menu items to remember if we go, then take a short nap before lunch.

I just mopped the kitchen floor so it can dry while the cats and I have our feet up.

Booking our trip to Toronto.

My senior friend was all excited and told her sister who poured cold water on things by asking how she would manage to get to her seat at the baseball stadium. So when I called this morning to confirm she was coming, she didn't think she could. I pointed out we would just take our wheelchair and we went over to try her in it. She doesn't fit well at all but there's one at her building she can use that will work. She didn't want to tie us down but we convinced her to come. A Blue Jays game is on her bucket list so she is excited.

In the meantime, the cheap seats on the train there are gone so that will cost 3x as much (the delay was from waiting to hear from our business contact and we could get cheap seats if we left at 6 a.m. but I'm not thrilled with that idea so we are going to pay the extra.) I've booked the tickets and have marked our reservation as wheelchair user. They'll have a lift to get her up onto the train so she doesn't have to climb the steep stairs (my biggest concern since there are days when a curb is too much for her.) We've been given the facing seats on the train which is also good.

The hotel seems to have dropped in price so that's a bonus. I booked early check in. We each have a suite and breakfast is included. And our business friend is booked into the same hotel so meeting up with him will be simple.

We just spent a half hour on the phone with the Accessibility people at the Blue Jays and have 4 seats, 2 in front in a regular row, 2 immediately behind in the wheelchair row. So we can sit together and she doesn't have to get out of the chair at all or worry about stairs. And they are across from the Blue Jays' dugout so she'll be able to see the players. I'll be able to get up and move around easily as well if I'm uncomfortable. At that point it is only 2.5 weeks after my surgery so I don't know how sore I'll be, especially after 4 hours on the train earlier in the day.

Next up, book the restaurant overlooking the field for the dinner before the game. Most of the trip is a business expense for dh and I due to the meeting with our business friend. We are also returning our friend's hospitality towards us when we've been in Denmark. Helping our senior friend out is a bonus in all this.

Dh is really pleased. All he had asked me yesterday morning was if I'd mind if he went to Toronto for the day on a cheap train ticket to meet with our business friend. I've turned it into an event. Being Danish, our business friend has never been to a baseball game before but he's living in the US now so it is about time he's introduced to America's game.

Edited to add: Just got a call from a local nursing home asking me to lead services for the month of July. Can't do it one of the days but can for the rest so will. Never done a nursing home service before.

Waving to all!

The clothes in the washer that were quite damp from my low are done and ready for tumblin' in the dryer now. I've done a few things today got 30 min. of de-cluttering in the sewing zone I took boxes out of that room and they are outside in the carport now. Yea for that. I'd been neglecting the basement. Found some toys for a toy rotation so I have some weeded out put the Easter bunnies stuff animals & dolls and plastic eggs away.

QT & journaling plus chicken chores done.
I have a plan for dinner planned left over chili yum!
The two kiddos here are doing well together today so that is a blessing.

If I had made a l&&t it would be lots tumblin' off. Have dh home. Had stops on the way & he snoozed in the car. Several new scripts. Pharmacist asked when his first blood draw is -Monday. Said she'd quit worrying then. Nurse coming tomorrow, blood work Mon, 1Dr Mon, another Dr Wed. I had appt Wed but will move it out a couple weeks. Also changed his appt with pulmonologist Tues to further out.

Took care of grocery run when we got home. Now I need 40 winks.
